orion vs. codemirror on markdown

1. Install the orion-codemirror plugin for Orion 4.0
2. Open a README.md file
3. The highlighting is working, but it is a little too subtle.

This is because our CSS theme doesn't all the classes that the highlighter spits out.

See pic for a comparison of Orion vs. native CodeMirror.

Here's the classes this mode generates:

^ We should prefix all of these with "cm-" and apply a nice style for them in our theme.

Orion ships with built in markdown syntax highlighting now.
